    Mom can we keep it?!?

    The ones that are sleeping on the side of the road way make the best pets!! They don't eat much, they don't poop on your things and they sleep a lot! You should have whipped out your phone and made a video of the kid, mom and her plates to show the pd.

    CA ambulance dl test

    I've taken it. Everything is true about having a physical and UA dip test. Get the manual from the DMV, and like the other fellow said.. Read it cover to cover as many times as you can. I did, and I still took me 2 tries to pass. The manual is very hard to read... it’s like really bad...

    Automatic blood pressure cuffs...

    So you say a semi-mechanical one would work better. (ones that you need to pump manually then it does the rest on its own?)

    Automatic blood pressure cuffs...

    Electronic BP Cuffs? Everyone that works on an ambulance knows how difficult it is to get an accurate BP in a moving/code 3 rig. I've thought of getting an electric bp unit to use. It would be nice to slip on the cuff, hit go and continue my physical assessment or paper work. I've heard...

    Calif. Man Tries To Amputate Own Arm

    LOL... lets get the air bubbles out by making more holes!! People need to be told that it would take an incredible amount of air shoved into your veins to hurt you to kill that myth.

    Building back strength

    Not to go off topic but... After just 4 days at work my back is killing me... "Sheet Drags" are one of the things effecting me. Too many 200lbs+ people that need to be lifted and put on the gunery. That and a move we call "The Superman Move" for our Dialysis Pts. We put the Dialysis "lazyboy"...

    P90x

    I did the P90X.. I think its a good work out. It gets your heart going and you sweat. I diched it simply because It hurt my calfs and knees. Maybe if I stuck with it longer... but it just seemed to work the f*** out of your calfs. Diet is a huge part of being fit. I stick with working...

    Police Cadet goes down.

    I work for a transport company and 98% of the people we pick up get rides like 3 to 4 times a week for Dialysis and I can tell most of them get pretty irritated from the standard A&O questions. What's your full name? Do you know where you are? What day of the week is it? Who is the...

    Our rigs do have cameras in it, and they capture audio. One on the driver, one in the back, and a couple outside in the front and back. They are more for keeping an eye on us. -Wheres my tin foil hat.
